"I am not a traditional Leather Person. Being heterosex-ual, disabled and a woman makes me a pretty rare addi-tion to the leather community but I enjoy representing ourdiversity by getting involved, [and] [t]he best way I knowto get involved and to give back is to volunteer my time,"Goddess Chal, EC volunteer coordinator said. "I love boss-ing people around, being surrounded by some of thehottest men and women at LA Pride, having a naughtygood time and calling it 'work'".Whether you visit out of curiosity or because it feels likehome.you will be welcome."It is with deep gratitude I acknowledge the varied andnumerous people who help make Erotic City a reality, andkeep it improving from year to year. Without the dedicat-ed support of so many great volunteers we would nothave the exciting experience we bring to our visitors eachyear," said Steve Ganzell, chair Erotic City.GET YOUR KINK ONBY THOMAS BW NICHOLSON
